We are Nottingham Tree Surgeons, your local team of friendly tree experts in Nottingham. We love looking after the trees in our community, keeping them healthy, and making sure your gardens stay safe. Over the years, we have noticed that many of our customers have the same questions when they call us about their hedges, plants, and big oaks. Because we want to make things as simple as possible, we have put together this guide to answer those frequent questions in plain language, without any confusing industry jargon.

One of the biggest questions we get asked every single day is how you can tell if a tree is sick or dying. It can be hard to know what is happening inside a tree, but there are a few easy signs you can look for from the ground. First, look at the leaves during the spring and summer months. If a tree has lots of bare branches where leaves should be growing, or if the leaves are turning brown and dropping off much too early, something might be wrong. You should also check the bark on the main trunk. If the bark is peeling off in huge chunks, or if you can see deep cracks and big holes, the tree might be losing its strength. Another major warning sign is the growth of large, shelf-like mushrooms or fungi around the base of the trunk. This usually means the wood inside is starting to rot, which makes the tree weak and unsafe. If you notice any of these things, it is always best to call us out to take a look before the tree becomes dangerous.

People also worry a lot about whether they need special permission from the local council before they can cut down or prune a tree in Nottingham. The short answer is that it depends on where you live and the specific tree. Some trees are protected by what we call a Tree Preservation Order, which means it is against the law to cut them without official permission. Other homes sit inside conservation areas, where all the local trees are protected to keep the neighborhood looking beautiful and green. We always tell our customers not to panic about this paperwork. When you hire us, we check all of the local council records for you to see if your trees have any special protections. If they do, we will handle the application process and speak to the council on your behalf so you do not have to worry about getting into trouble or filling out complicated forms.

Another common question is about the best time of year to prune a tree to keep it healthy. While we can do minor trimming at almost any time, the absolute best time for major pruning is during the late winter or very early spring. During this period, the trees are in a deep sleep, which we call dormancy. Because they are sleeping, they do not lose sap when we cut the branches, and the risk of bugs or diseases getting into the open wounds is much lower. It also makes our job a bit easier because all the leaves have fallen off, allowing us to see the shape of the branches clearly and spot any hidden problems. The main exception to this rule is dead or dangerous branches, which should always be removed immediately, no matter what month it is, to stop them from falling on your roof or car.

We are often asked what happens to all the wood, branches, and leaves after we finish working in a garden. We take great pride in being an environmentally friendly company, so we never let anything go to waste. As we cut down branches, we feed them into a large machine called a wood chipper, which turns them into small wooden pieces instantly. We use these wood chips for garden mulch, which helps keep soil moist and stops weeds from growing in local parks and gardens. If we cut down a large trunk, we chop the heavy wood into logs that can be dried out and used in log burners and fireplaces to keep homes warm during the cold winter months. We promise that we will never leave your garden looking like a mess, and we always tidy up every single twig before we drive away.

Property owners also frequently ask us how close a tree can safely grow to their house without causing damage to the walls or the underground pipes. There is no single rule for this because different types of trees grow to very different sizes. Large trees like oaks and willows have massive, thirsty root systems that spread out wide under the ground looking for water. If these are planted too close to a house, they can sometimes cause the soil to shrink, which might lead to cracks in your walls, or they might push against old sewer pipes. As a general rule of thumb, small garden trees should be kept at least three meters away from your building, while large trees need to be much further away. If you are worried about a big tree near your home, we can come and inspect the ground to give you peace of mind.

Lastly, many people want to know how much our tree services cost and how we work out our prices. We cannot give a single fixed price over the phone because every garden and every tree is completely different. When we calculate a price, we look at how big the tree is, how close it is to your greenhouse or power lines, and how easy it is for our team to access your garden with our heavy equipment. A small tree in an open front yard is much quicker and safer to trim than a giant tree hanging over a busy road or a neighbor's roof. This is why we always offer free, no-obligation visits where we come to your home, look at the work that needs doing, and give you a clear, honest price in writing so there are never any surprises.
